FractalAudio said:This happens because the Mbox is loading down the outputs when not powered. This is quite common when using a non-inverting op-amp configuration as an input buffer. The correct solution is to unplug the cables to the mbox.

It means that, when the device is turned off, its inputs present very low impedances to any device that is connected to them, thus loading those outputs to the point that they do not function properly. This is a very common occurrence, and it is never good practice to leave operating outputs connected to the inputs of a device that is not powered up.jdawgesq said:Sorry but I only got the last sentence. What does "loading down" mean?
